FYI,

466A Shell Gas Station closed until further notice. Here we go again.

OK, what will be the closest station, via golf cart, if you live in Hadley?

There are 2 Shell stations along CR466, in the area of Southern Trace. They've been around long enough that I think they'll stay in business!

It doesn't have to be a Shell....Just need to know how far it is to get the cart gassed up....

These are still the closest if you live in Hadley.

Thank you for your help....

Earlier this week, gas 16 cents more there than elsewhere. No wonder it closed down again...got to meet prevailing prices.

Went by there around 2pm today and there were some cars there but it appeared that they had some kind of construction going on just south of the pumps as that area was blocked off.

Cost of driving short distances around TV in an electric cart: Priceless!

I'm beginning to wonder if I made the right choice in buying a gas cart.

[redwitch]

Towing the electric cart that ran out of juice -- PRICELESS (and happens all too frequently). Tom, going to 466 not that big of a deal. Just buy a 5- or 10-gallon gas can, fill it up when you gas up your car and leave it in your garage -- that's what most gas cart owners do.

However, sure wish I'd seen this thread before I putt-putted my way over to that stupid station. Then I had to putt-putt (and pray) to 466 to get gas. I foolishly let it get too low. Fortunately, made it, but sure wasn't thrilled when I saw the prices -- $2.98 for regular; $3.26 for premium. That was a seriously fast hike!

These two stations have always charged a few cents more per gallon than the 2 Villages area Shell stations on HWY 441/27.

Wonder what will happen when the Murphy Express Station opens across from WalMart on CR 466. Hopefully the competition from this new Walmart affiliated station will result in these Shell stations setting their prices a little lower.

If this station at Colony is being closed permanently, I hope somebody buys it and re-opens it.

My husband is working and drives the car to Leesburg. It doesn't make sense to drive north (from Duval) to 466 to buy gas there, when he's going to Leesburg to work.

This is a big step backward.

And no, we're not sorry we bought a gas cart. It's reliable.

Runing out of juice is no different than running out of gas. It only happens if you do not pay attention to your gauge. I have a gauge on my electric cart and know how many bars it takes on it to get from 441 to 466a and places inbetween. I pay $25 a year for 24/7 cart service so worst that happens is I make a phone call and someone comes out and tows me home but i do not see how that will happen unless I am careless. I never let my cart charge go below a certain level and it is easy enough to plug it in when not in use and have a full charge or close to it each time I need the cart. Having said this I see the merit in a gas cart for those that use it for golf and their primary means of transportation.

What makes me laugh the most is that people seem to forget they have cars. I had one person tell me that he did not want an electric cart because he would not be able to charge it in case there was an emergency situtation such as a hurricane and his electricity was out. I asked him about his car and he just looked funny and said he had not considered that.
